Do Not Neglect The Gift
That Is In You
Let no one despise your youth, but set
the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
Until I arrive, give attention to the public reading of scripture, to
exhorting, to teaching. Do not neglect the gift that
is in you, which was given to you through prophesy with the laying on of hands
by the council of elders. Put these
things into practice, devote yourself to them, so that
all may see your progress. Pay close attention to yourself and to your
teaching; continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both
yourself and your hearers.
We do not know when our actions might
become an example to others. But if we live each day to honor Jesus, our
behavior will model His righteousness, no matter who is watching.
Idealism and enthusiasm are often best
expressed by the young. But uprightness and honor should be goals for
Christians of every age.
Our goal in life should be to change
the world around us without compromising ourselves and our religious belief in
our Savior Jesus Christ. We would do well to pursue life, integrity, and
exemplary behavior.
A good example
always makes a good sermon.
